<FIGURE>A schematic representation of a cell with viscous drag. The stiffness of the cell is \(k\) , and drag coefficient is \(\eta \) . The motile element is labeled \(P\) . The mechanical displacement of the cell is represented by \(X\) . The properties of OHC cannot easily be rendered as a simple combination of elastic- and displacement elements, even though such attempts have been made earlier [1]}, [2]}.
